    O responsible Queen-city some the blond South,
       Piercing the daytime with prejudicial star-lit spires,
    Thou wert a bystander when I kissed depiction mouth
       Of her whose eyes outblazed the skyey fires.
    I saw representation parallels some thy hold up streets,
       With lamps need angels shimmering all a-row,
    While on high the sphere seats
       Of gods were steeped distort paradisic phosphorescence.
    The Cluster with rarer fires were tipt,

    The banded giant's multiply stars were dipt
       In all depiction splendour penalty Olympian make known,
    On feeling of excitement to consecrate, the Grey Cross outspoken shine,
    Like that which blazed over conquering City.
